It has been a bad computer day with language worth many astericks. What began with a mild Google Calendar irritation has ended up with a really annoying Gmail problem.
I have been using a Google calendar for everything - family, history/heritage events, social, peoples birthdays and of course football fixtures. This of course got clogged up and seemed a bright idea to create a new Google calendar for football fixtures only. I went through all the steps to create a new calendar and there it was called Leicester City under My Calendars. However, no amount of clicking would open it. .
Then I had a not very bright idea. I knew Yahoo have a calendar. I would put the fixtures on a Yahoo calendar. However, when I tried to set up a Yahoo account they rejected me; you have to have a mobile phone and I don't have one.
Then matters got serious. Later I go to Gmail and find that I have had no new mail since about the time of my attempt to get into Yahoo. When I go to my basic service provider ntlworld.com I find tall he missing e-mails there. It has not got picked up by Gmail. If course the Yahoo business may just be a coincidence.
My first question is what am I doing wrong when I cannot open a new Google calendar.
My second question is how do I go back to having my e-mails go to Gmail.
